MODERN Set of knives in a block – elegant design and the highest quality
The Modern line is an excellent choice for lovers of modern and industrial designs, and is characterised by a simple and minimalist form. Five knives made of high-grade steel have various applications, depending on the finish and size of the knives. They will prove useful during the cutting, shredding, slitting and slicing of various products.
Detailed description:
The X50CrMoV15 stainless steel strengthened with chromium, vanadium and molybdenum, from which the blades are made, ensures increased strength and resistance to corrosion.
The hardness of the Modern knife’s blade is 54-55 HRC on the Rockwell scale, which indicates the ability to retain sharpness for a given period, and also examines resistance to mechanical damage and overloading of the blade. Hard knives retain their sharpness for longer, but at the same time it is more difficult to sharpen them, they are less flexible and more susceptible to cracks and chipping. On one hand, each knife should be rigid in order to cut various ingredients precisely, but on the other, it needs to be flexible enough so as not to crack when the cutting angle changes or considerable pressure is applied to it. In the majority of cases, the hardness of kitchen knives is from 52 HRC up, whereas a value of 57–58 HRC means hard steel. The hardness of the kitchen knives manufactured by Gerlach is adjusted in such a way as to ensure exceptionally precise and sharp cutting, while simultaneously minimising the probability of breaking the blade during intense use.
The profiled stainless steel handle of Modern knives ensures exceptional comfort of use. It guarantees a secure grip, even in extreme conditions.
The set of knives is available with an elegant block made of varnished beechwood in two colours – white or black. If placed on the kitchen worktop, it will become a delicate decoration in your kitchen.
There are five knives available in this line, the functions of which vary depending on the finish and size of the knives. They will prove themselves exceptionally worthy whether cutting tomatoes, shredding lettuce or slicing meat.
